In this course we dive into operating cash flows, an important component of the statement of cash flows! What’s included in operating cash flows, and what is not. Why does operating cash flow differ from net income, and when should we be concerned? How do I reconcile the differences between operating cash flows and net income? What do these reconciliations tell me about the company’s growth and management of current assets and liabilities? We will cover all these important questions, and more importantly teach YOU to how to both prepare and analyze operating cash flows.
